Proud si former Miss Universe Catriona Gray na tumanda na naman siya ng isang taon.
As in wala raw siyang takot na tumanda.
Ayon sa kanyang message sa Broadcast Channel niya: “I just wanted to share lang, in my 20s, maybe it was the industry I’m in, or maybe being a woman? But I had sooo many people put the fear of “aging out” on me. Like as soon as I was in my 30s so much would change daw.
“But now that I’m here, I hsve no idea what they were talking about. I feel so much more capable. I’m more confident and assured in myself - cause I know myself better. I’ve learned to listen to my inner voice, and validate my own vision.
“I really don’t understand why society wants to shame aging cause it’s a beautiful process - the journey of coming into your own, of realizing your potential, of taking ownership of your story.
“So please, if you’re in your teens, 20s - don’t subscribe to the narrative that you have a “best before date”. Cause you don’t. And you won’t.
“Life is a gift at any stage. And it’s a privledge to grow old.”
Maraming natatakot tumanda o nagde-deny ng kanilang totoong edad, pero walang ganun ang mapapangasawa ni Sam Milby.
